I
undertook the project to create a multi-media seder chazzanut in 2005 with the
expectation to finish it within a reasonable amount of time. For various reasons
the progress is slow. One reason is that it is just not easy to capture the
details. Furthermore, over time I realized there is more to it than expected.

The
chazzanim and shamashimwho wrote their seder
chazzanut mainly wrote it for their own
usage and that of their successors.
Many details are missing either because they were so obvious that writing them
down was not needed, or because they happened outside the regular service and
thus not needed for them. The same is true for the recordings. Here parts are
also missing because they were outside the service, forgotten
or got lost.

In order
to safeguard the material I gathered
so far, I place all those texts and
recordings I as I received them, on
this page. Hopefully, more and more will be explained in
details in dedicated pages, as done for parts of the site which are ready.

Even
though you will find corrections on seder chazzanut and the recordings, this is
by no means to disqualify the people who put tremendous efforts in place to
make them. On the contrary, without their effort our unique nosach
(liturgical custom) would probably
completely be lost
after this generation, as we unfortunately see in other places. We are extremely
grateful to them for their documenting in writing and recording.
